One is co. fee, which, it is claimed, has been raised in small puntities success fully for two years by a farmer of cen nil Iowa. The ex peri mentor, thf? Iowa planter, is said to hae proven to is is satisfaction that the future codec crop of this country will prove to La oni of the surest and most profitable i that is grown. The other ptoduct mferred ? is a Kallir corn, a grain or seed somewhat resembling hemp seed and said to be indigenous to South Africa. Its recent and somewhat extensive cultivation in southern Kansas seems to have shown that it is one of the most valuable of grains. It yields well and makes possible, even in this climate, tho harvesting of two crops from the same ground in one season. If the raising of these two crops can be successfully added to those which are wjw grown the tendency will be to still further add to the benefits and possibilities of American agriculture.

Century. Costly Kiit ertnliimciit for a I'rini-e. The Prince of Wales recently paid a visit to Lily, Duchess of Marlborough. It was for a few days only and "very quiet," yet this little informal stay, it is rumored, cost the duchess $50,000. The suite of apartments which his royal highness occupied was newly upholstered in pale blue satin.and the prince's bath was of plated silver. The main hall of D- pdene was entirely transformed. The statuary wa3 removed and the walls were hung with trophies of tho chase. War Aclnt the Wicke.l. Police Commissioner Lee of St. Louis recently sent a letter to the pastors of the different churches of that city asking them if they would uphold him in an heroic effort to enforce the Sunday law in St. Louis on the lines pursued In New York. Most of the pastors have promised a zealous support. A Kemarkahle Man. "At that moment the worthy pastor appeared on the threshold of the manse. Ills hands were thrust into tho pockets of his large, loose coat, while he turned over the leaves of the prayer book and wloed his spectacles." Paul Lindau.

Tili- p-int, which is called ' Tl Tiire' KmperoiV Con. is in hf In-art of a gro.t coal and iron region. Count Sehuwalow, the new governor-g. ner:.l ol Poland, recently made a trip of inspection througli the iron and indu-tri:'! districts of lius-sian-Poiand. and upon this occasion made a visit to this historical spot, where once the three emperors of Russia, Germany and Austr a met and spoke to each other, while each stood in his own country. The party was heartily welcomed by a large number

of German mine workers, who happem?(i tQ s00 the ,avalcarie'ana the arliath Kreoiumrtidod. The following is the horror perpetrated by a well-known Scottish baronet: A sportsman said to him the other day: 'Talking about dogs with keen scent. 1 have one that will compare favorably with any you have in ln;land." "Very remarkable dog. I suppose?" yawned the listener. "I should say so. The other day after I left home he broke his chain and, although I had been away for hours, he tracked me and found me merely by scent. What do miu think of that?" "I think ou ought io take a bath," replied the Caledonian, turning c.diuly away Life's Ca leie'.a r. I'ronrew f (lirioti.iit I '.it ilea iti: The latest denomination to make Christian Lndeavor its ofiicial young people's tocie.y is the Atrican M. 1. Ziou cliurcii.

CHINESE rVIUSIC IN COURT. performances nec-sr-arily include n ias rumental pejfor, ::t::ce. and that '." orchestra if the tin "at: r were rrect- ' 1 would ctve ?u h di.-: :.il. h'deous :nd unearthly music that i. would conj tite.te a nuisance 1 nd ivaVr "'- ' j neighborhood not worth living. After taking the evidence of .1. L. Kaulukou, who testified to the horrid music of the I old theater, Mr. Thurston, who had 1 ur.nmcned into court the entire Chinese band, with their instruments, offered a "performance" in evidence. Hs proved by one of the actors that the music was an integral part of nil ChlnPsf. plaxs an1 (.h,ini0i ,hat the court could fully appreciate the character of the music only by hearing it. Mr. ! Hartwell onnosed its introduction as ( M contrarv to tho rlllos of evidence . m, uttpr, irrrulan ,lo askfM, if tho utterly irregul; case went up on appe il how could the music be preserved so that the supreme court could hear it. Mr. Thurston replied that it could be preserved in the phonograph, if there was one, and besides, he claimed that the music was not for the supreme court, but for Judge Cooper to hear, in order to settle tho question of fact. After due consideration Judge Cooper admitted the performance in evidence. The instruments were tuned, and, at the word of command, the five gongs, two cymbals, big bass drum and several other effective, but indescribable instruments, went off. Such music had never before been heard in the court-room. It rattled and screamed and bellowed and thundered around the room and tried to burst the windows. The full bench of the supreme court, sitting in another room, promptly adjourned and hurried in. The meeting of the board of health in the room below came to a dead standstill, and the audience, including tho cabinet, rushed out in bewilderment. Mr. Marsden, in the agricultural department below, became wild, it is said, and tried to get out of the window; but immediately recovered himself and exclaimed that he had now found a new remedy for the Japanese beetle. The portraits of the eminent justices, now departed, which adorn the walls of tho court-room, were disturbed, and presented 'the ghastly spectacle of lifting up their hands and closing their ears. After five minutes the court ordered the noise to abate and the trial proceeded.

STUDY OF THE MOON. Peculiarities .Vti in Ii p p.- r.i n a t IM'Ti rent S.-isons. To the casual oa-.-rv. r the motions of tiie moou appear to ho exce edingly v.hi:n.-i.-al and irregular, says the St. i.o.us Republic. If its p'a-e in tie sky is : hod it will bo found that it is first ::or;h and tm.ii south of tho sun's path, and that it is sometimes east and sometimes west, of that luminary. The last two motions are steady and regular from east to west, carrying the moon in its endless swing around th heavens, starting at new moon near the sun and progressing until at full moon the whole visible portion of the sky separates the two bodies. After this there are two weeks in which the moon still appears to move backward, approaching the sun from the other side, then, again apparently all of a sudden, it passes the sun and we behold a "new moon." The north and south motions of the moon are entirely different. While performing its endless journey from west to east there are two special periods in which it cither moves far northward or takes up its position low down in the south. In spring the first motion is north, but afterward the general motion is reversed. In December you will note that the full moon occurs at the most northerly point in her course and in June at the most southerly. This is why we have most light from the full moon of winter and least from that of summer. Observations on these various movements indicate to us the path in which the moon moves about the earth and also show its that that body in different parts of its orbit is at varying distances from the earth. To is indicates t ha t the moon's path is not a circle, hut an e'lipse, having the earth in one of its foci. The roonn beiuir governed directly and held in position by the attraction of the earth, he! Is its primary movements in a path around our globe, but the attraction energy of the sun and of the giant planets, perhaps, in a lesser degree, produces motions in the moon which may be summarized briefly as a combination of the six following movements. (1) Its resolution about the earth. C2) its revolution with the earth about the sun, CI) the vibrating eccentricity of its orbit, h the slow, direct rotation in the "line of apsides." ("O the retrograde rotation in the line of nodes and ( is rotation on its axis. It would be proper to enlarge this "note" so as to give a full explanation of the causes of each of the above-mentioned movements, but as each would require the use of scoies of diagrams and technical phrases such a feat cannot be attempted.

Her husband was meek and lowly, observes the Boston I'ost, and adds that they lived out on Fannin street. After supper she put on her bloomers, got her hat and cane, and said she was goins down to the club for an hour or two. Henry had gone to bed and was trying to figure out why he had been born. She readied up to the gas burner and said: "Is there anything 1 can do for you, Henry, before 1 put out the light?" "Yes. my dear, I'm feeling rather nervous to-night. Would you mind lookunder the bed to see if there's a woman there before you go out?" KilU a Down K;nt Pulpit. The town of Littleton. N. H.. has a woman pastor, Mrs. Frost. She first came to town as the wife of the pastor 01 tiie Congregational church, Rev. George H. Frost. Owing to ill health he was obliged to go abroad, and the church invited Mrs. Frost to supply the pulpit during his absence. This she did for a year, when an ecclesiastical council was called, and, after a most rigid pyamination the rite of ordination was I administered and Mrs. Frost was then ! fitted legally for all the functions of a minister. In pulpit, parish, at funerals, marriage ceremonies and all other seri vices she was equally acceptable. Those j who were at first doubtful of the exI pediency of the step have all been qtiieti ly convinced of the wisdom of the plan, and, when the pastor was forced, from continued il'. health, to ask a dismission, it was granted only on condition that Mrs. Frost should be Installed and be the pastor. Each advance step leading to this remarkable arrangement has been taken by the people. In no instance has Mrs. Frost put herself forward. She is a modest, retiring woman of marked ability. ComltH of High Degree for Thin Season. From the little unobtrusive inch and a half combs that used to plaster back refractory bangs during the Madonna craze, the side comb has developed into a five or six inch implement, encircling half the head and variously ornamented and liligreed. The teeth are fine and far apart, to suit soft or coarse hair, and variously graded, being perhaps only .1 half inch deep on one end and two inches on the other. In the matter of coiffure, sweet simplicity has been relegated to the background, and authorities predict that the feminine heads at the opera and other evening functions this winter will be works of art. An Unmanly Now Woman. "What do you think?" exclaimed one emancipated woman. "I don't know!" was the startled rejoinder of another. "What do I?" "Our president, Miss Tomasa Buoy, has taken to smoking cigarettes." "What! We must impeach her at once. The idea of her doing anything so unmanly!" Washington Star.
